The MMORPG, Lord of the Rings Online, will be following the example set by Dungeons and Dragons Online by becoming free to play later this year. Unlike DDO, this will apply to Europe aswell as the US.

â€œHaving successfully taken two titles free-to-play in the past we are very pleased to be doing the same with The Lord of the Rings Online in Europe,â€ said David Solari, Vice President and General Manager of Codemasters Online.Â â€œItâ€™s a fantastic, award-winning game with a wonderfully realized world and this step will only broaden its appeal and increase its player base.â€
